Tired of gauge swatches? Want to knit a hat with your choice of yarn weight and needle size? Try this top-down, no gauge kufi hat knitting pattern. You can knit a traditional hat that covers the ears, or a kufi-style (above the ears). Because you knit from the top down you can try-on and adjust as you go! Experiment with stitch styles and borders, too.
I used Berroco Jasper merino wool, color: Verde Lavras 3833, and size 6 dp and circular needles. You can choose your own yarn and needle size with this pattern.
NOTE: For a baby hat, I suggest only subtracting 1″ or less to get your circumference number. Also, if you want a less snug hat (less like a kufi and more like a traditional hat) you can just subtract 1″ or less.
